packager detects 'electron-prebuilt' instead of 'electron' in the package.json

See original GitHub issue

Note As of version 1.3.1, this package is published to npm under two names: electron and electron-prebuilt. You can currently use either name, but electron is recommended, as the electron-prebuilt name is deprecated, and will only be published until the end of 2016.

But packager currently detects ‘electron-prebuilt’ not ‘electron’ in the package.json.

Installed packager with npm install electron-packager -g.

I find it highly odd that you’re not getting any debug output. Could you please run the following commands, and paste the output of each?

npm list electron-packager
npm list -g electron-packager

I’ve never liked the fact that --version doesn’t give the electron-packager version. I think in a future major version I’m going to change it so it’s more like other command line tools (I’ve reopened #154 as a result).
